Create new module inside ERPnext app

Frappe Framework Customization

What is the procedure to add module to the ERPNext app?
What files do I need to also change to have the new module registered?

I know this can be done via custom app, but I want to add the module to my fork of ERPNext.
So not doing it from the GUI (not even to an installed instance). Hence when I install the modified ERPNext (i.e my fork) the module is already there.

Thanks

its better to create a new app for that
cause when updating frappe or erpnext i think it will remove your custom module

Thanks @anditsung,
Actually my question is not about which is better.
But about how to do it because I want to learn.

It’s like how to do it the way ERPNext team do it.

to create new apps and the first module for that app
bench new-app [APP-NAME]

install app to site
bench --site [SITE-NAME] install-app [APP-NAME]

to create another module for that app can be don from module def but need to add it to the desktop.py on the config file ( need access to shell ) then do bench migrate or it will not be showing on the desktop but can be search

then you can create a doctype for that module
